The parties are instructed to refrain from conducting discovery (other than initial disclosures), making discovery requests, and filing motions regarding discovery (for which this court uses more efficient tools). At the CMC the court will take up with the parties in both actions pretrial plans for the cases including discovery plans, i.e., Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 16 and 26 plans, and the setting of dates to accomplish necessary discovery. Initial disclosures, if not accomplished already, should proceed; all other discovery is in abeyance until resolved at the CMC. The date of July 26, 2010, for which a motion related to discovery is noticed, is vacated and the matter will be taken up at the CMC on July 19 in connection with discovery plans, and not as a motion.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Date: July 8, 2010
